convert the automatically capitalized first letter back to a lower case letter).
Immediately after pressing the spacebar, press Ctrl+Z. 
Type the first word of the first bullet item in lower case and press the spacebar. Type a lead-in sentence to a bullet list as normal (the first letter of the first word will automatically capitalize). So, how do you stop Word from auto capitalizing the first letter in each bullet item? You have to tell Word to undo what it’s just done, and then it will ‘remember’ that choice for subsequent items in the same bullet list. This is a real pain if your style guide says NOT to capitalize list items that are sentence fragments, single words etc. Unfortunately, Word considers any bullet list item to be a ‘sentence’ even if it’s not, and so it automatically capitalizes the initial letter of the first word. Yes, it seems strange to keep the Capitalize the first letter of sentences turned on, but you need this on for all you normal sentences. Make sure these settings are both turned on. 
Well, I didn’t think it was possible, but it is! You CAN stop Word from auto capitalizing the first word in a bullet list item, but there’s a trick to doing it.īy default, Word has the settings for Capitalize the first letter of sentences and Format the beginning of list item like the one before it turned on (in Word 2010, both settings are under File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options, on the AutoCorrect and AutoFormat As You Type tabs, respectively).
